f6121f4f87 sched_rt.c: resch needed in rt_rq_enqueue() for the root rt_rq
While working on the new version of the code for SCHED_SPORADIC I
noticed something strange in the present throttling mechanism. More
specifically in the throttling timer handler in sched_rt.c
(do_sched_rt_period_timer()) and in rt_rq_enqueue().

The problem is that, when unthrottling a runqueue, rt_rq_enqueue() only
asks for rescheduling if the runqueue has a sched_entity associated to
it (i.e., rt_rq->rt_se != NULL).
Now, if the runqueue is the root rq (which has a rt_se = NULL)
rescheduling does not take place, and it is delayed to some undefined
instant in the future.

This imply some random bandwidth usage by the RT tasks under throttling.
For instance, setting rt_runtime_us/rt_period_us = 950ms/1000ms an RT
task will get less than 95%. In our tests we got something varying
between 70% to 95%.
Using smaller time values, e.g., 95ms/100ms, things are even worse, and
I can see values also going down to 20-25%!!

The tests we performed are simply running 'yes' as a SCHED_FIFO task,
and checking the CPU usage with top, but we can investigate thoroughly
if you think it is needed.

Things go much better, for us, with the attached patch... Don't know if
it is the best approach, but it solved the issue for us.

07454bfff1 clockevents: check broadcast tick device not the clock events device
Impact: jiffies increment too fast.

Hugh Dickins noted that with NOHZ=n and HIGHRES=n jiffies get
incremented too fast. The reason is a wrong check in the broadcast
enter/exit code, which keeps the local apic timer in periodic mode
when the switch happens.

76acae04c8 ACPI: Make /proc/acpi/wakeup interface handle PCI devices (again)
Make the ACPI /proc/acpi/wakeup interface set the appropriate wake-up bits
of physical devices corresponding to the ACPI devices and make those bits
be set initially for devices that are enabled to wake up by default.  This
is needed to restore the 2.6.26 and earlier behavior for the PCI devices
that were previously handled correctly with the help of the
/proc/acpi/wakeup interface.

95bf14bff5 leds-pca955x: add proper error handling and fix bogus memory handling
Check the return value of led_classdev_register and unregister all
registered devices, if registering one device fails.  Also the dynamic
memory handling is totally bogus.  You can't allocate multiple chunks via
kzalloc() and expect them to be in order later.  I wonder how this ever
worked.

07f696c777 leds-fsg: change order of initialization and deinitialization
On initialization, we first do the ioremap and then register the led devices.
On deinitialization, we do it in reverse order. This prevents someone calling
into the brightness_set functions with an invalid latch_address.

The "Documentation" section of this file mentions that when an interface
change is made, I should be CCed with info about the change (so that
man-pages can document it).  Additionally request that this info be CCed
to the new linux-api@vger.kernel.org list.

2e4a75cdcb rtc: fix kernel panic on second use of SIGIO nofitication
When userspace uses SIGIO notification and forgets to disable it before
closing file descriptor, rtc->async_queue contains stale pointer to struct
file.  When user space enables again SIGIO notification in different
process, kernel dereferences this (poisoned) pointer and crashes.

So disable SIGIO notification on close.

3040a6d5a2 selinux: Fix an uninitialized variable BUG/panic in selinux_secattr_to_sid()
At some point during the 2.6.27 development cycle two new fields were added
to the SELinux context structure, a string pointer and a length field.  The
code in selinux_secattr_to_sid() was not modified and as a result these two
fields were left uninitialized which could result in erratic behavior,
including kernel panics, when NetLabel is used.  This patch fixes the
problem by fully initializing the context in selinux_secattr_to_sid() before
use and reducing the level of direct context manipulation done to help
prevent future problems.

Please apply this to the 2.6.27-rcX release stream.

cc65f1ec19 x86 setup: correct segfault in generation of 32-bit reloc kernel
Impact: segfault on build of a 32-bit relocatable kernel

When converting arch/x86/boot/compressed/relocs.c to support unlimited
sections, the computation of sym_strtab in walk_relocs() was done
incorrectly.  This causes a segfault for some people when building the
relocatable 32-bit kernel.

d3d238c774 [S390] nohz: Fix __udelay.
This fixes a regression that came with 934b2857cc
("[S390] nohz/sclp: disable timer on synchronous waits.").
If udelay() gets called from a disabled context it sets the clock comparator
to a value where it expects the next interrupt. When the interrupt happens
the clock comparator gets not reset and therefore the interrupt condition
doesn't get cleared. The result is an endless timer interrupt loop.

In addition this patch fixes also the following:

rcutorture reveals that our __udelay implementation is still buggy,
since it might schedule tasklets, but prevents their execution:

NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 42
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 02
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 142
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 02

To fix this we make sure that only the clock comparator interrupt
is enabled when the enabled wait psw is loaded.
Also no code gets called anymore which might schedule tasklets.

95b866d5af e1000e: Fix incorrect debug warning
Doing 'WARN_ON(preempt_count())' was horribly horribly wrong, and would
cause tons of warnings at bootup if PREEMPT was enabled because the
initcalls currently run with the kernel lock, which increments the
preempt count.

At the same time, the warning was also insufficient, since it didn't
check that interrupts were enabled.

The proper debug function to use for something that can sleep and wants
a warning if it's called in the wrong context is 'might_sleep()'.

b5ff7df3df Check mapped ranges on sysfs resource files
This is loosely based on a patch by Jesse Barnes to check the user-space
PCI mappings though the sysfs interfaces.  Quoting Jesse's original
explanation:

  It's fairly common for applications to map PCI resources through sysfs.
  However, with the current implementation, it's possible for an application
  to map far more than the range corresponding to the resourceN file it
  opened.  This patch plugs that hole by checking the range at mmap time,
  similar to what is done on platforms like sparc64 in their lower level
  PCI remapping routines.

  It was initially put together to help debug the e1000e NVRAM corruption
  problem, since we initially thought an X driver might be walking past the
  end of one of its mappings and clobbering the NVRAM.  It now looks like
  that's not the case, but doing the check is still important for obvious
  reasons.

and this version of the patch differs in that it uses a helper function
to clarify the code, and does all the checks in pages (instead of bytes)
in order to avoid overflows when doing "<< PAGE_SHIFT" etc.

6babc32c41 mm: handle initialising compound pages at orders greater than MAX_ORDER
When we initialise a compound page we initialise the page flags and head
page pointer for all base pages spanned by that page.  When we initialise
a gigantic page (a page of order greater than or equal to MAX_ORDER) we
have to initialise more than MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages.  Currently we
assume that all elements of the mem_map in this page are contigious in
memory.  However this is only guarenteed out to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages,
and with SPARSEMEM enabled they will not be contigious.  This leads us to
walk off the end of the first section and scribble on everything which
follows, BAD.

When we reach a MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundary we much locate the next
section of the mem_map.  As gigantic pages can only be maximally aligned
we know this will occur at exact multiple of MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages from
the start of the page.

This is a bug fix for the gigantic page support in hugetlbfs.

Credit to Mel Gorman for spotting the issue.

4b19de6d1c mm: tiny-shmem nommu fix
The previous patch db203d53d4 ("mm:
tiny-shmem fix lock ordering: mmap_sem vs i_mutex") to fix the lock
ordering in tiny-shmem breaks shared anonymous and IPC memory on NOMMU
architectures because it was using the expanding truncate to signal ramfs
to allocate a physically contiguous RAM backing the inode (otherwise it is
unusable for "memory mapping" it to userspace).

However do_truncate is what caused the lock ordering error, due to it
taking i_mutex.  In this case, we can actually just call ramfs directly to
allocate memory for the mapping, rather than go via truncate.

6c1b7f680d memory hotplug: missing zone->lock in test_pages_isolated()
__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock() in mm/page_isolation.c has a comment
saying that the caller must hold zone->lock. But the only caller of that
function, test_pages_isolated(), does not hold zone->lock and the lock is
also not acquired anywhere before. This patch adds the missing zone->lock
to test_pages_isolated().

We reproducibly run into BUG_ON(!PageBuddy(page)) in __offline_isolated_pages()
during memory hotplug stress test, see trace below. This patch fixes that
problem, it would be good if we could have it in 2.6.27.
